Fire Crackers versus Everyday Pollutants!

You know why does a person start her/his own blog.. so that they can speak out what they feel on a systematic platform.

With reference to the recent ban on crackers in Delhi.. I have my bit to say - 
I have never been a fan of crackers and I am the only one in my entire maternal and paternal family and in my in-laws place who is so less fond of crackers. I usually bring a packet of Phuljhadi, Anar, Rocket and Chakri.. and I am done.
And I started this less love for crackers when we were once told in our school, about the child labourers being employed in Sivakasi - the heartland of cracker manufacturing - FOR MAKING THOSE CRACKERS! The small feeling of compassion creeped in and is there till date. But since shagun is to be done.. I do it with bare minimum crackers.

Pollution is something we need to be always concerned about 
1) Use of AC at home, schools, office buildings especially by blocking the flow of fresh air and sunlight!
2) Use of vehicles for places where you could walk down.
3) Not turning off the car engine, when the traffic signal has more than 1 minute of wait time.
4) Carefree and reckless use of disposable items (bottled water, pouch of water, aerated rink bottles, tetra packs, plastic cutlery at home and in parties) and never wondering about its proper disposal method.
5) Extensive use of plastic in our day to day lives. E.g.: Melamine, plastic containers to store food and water and cooked food.
6) Not caring about segregation of solid and liquid waste and also other different types of waste products.
7) Cigarette and pollution resulting due to it. 


Did you know 
1) Turning off the AC can help you stay away from vitamin and mineral deficiencies and also get rid off respiratory tract disorders or issues.
2) Walking to nearby places makes you more fit and saves the costly renewable source of energy as well.
3) Turning off the car engine at the traffic signal- helps in reducing the CO2 and other harmful gaseous emission from your vehicle and also save petrol/diesel.
4) The use of plastic is not fit for a healthy life whether it happes in the form of disposable items or in the form of food grade containers or melamine cutlery. It leads to various digestive tract disorders and is also a proven carcinogenic agent!
Moreover its thoughtless disposal leads to polluting of our otherwise super clean water sources (Oh that was pure sarcasm!) and is dangerous to the life of birds and animals!
5) If we talk about segragating wastes this is one thing that needs to be focussed on a lot to reduce the waste dumpyards created in every metro. We need to learn this from Germany  and Sweden. Oh but we so love the polythene that comes with our sabzi or grocery items whether we get it for free or pay for it that we rarely bother about how do we dispose it!
6) Being a diet and nutrition consultant , health is a topic which I can go on and on about... How many of us are aware of the term "passive smoking" So first we need to get rid off "Open Smoking Areas!" and give closed chambers to the portable chimneys moving around! (Sarcasm oh a big big YES!!)

If at all you have studied environment during your school days my thoughts will make sense for you, if they don't, think about it for yourself.. that - Why is the life of every living species not important for you and why is just ranting about any political party is important!!
Please start caring for your environment everyday!

YES if you feel banning crackers during one time or one day could help you......
May God bless you with - so called common sense!

And yes for those who give a damn - KARMA has its own way of paying you back ..who knows the different types of illnesses prevailing in your family or in your own body - is nature's own way of hitting back at you !

Cuídate
